Silicon(IV) bromide due to it’s close similarity to Silicon Tetrachloride has several unique features, applicable in the production of ultrapure silicon for the manufacture of semiconductor devices. This product has an advantage over SiCl4 in the speed of silicon deposition. Pyrolysis of Silicon(IV) bromide followed by treatment with ammonia yields Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) coatings. This hard compound is used for ceramics, sealants, and the production of many cutting tools. It is also used in water treatment, chemical analysis and in ultra high purity for certain crystal growth applications. Synthesis of this product has been reported (see the links below).
